Regulatory project Solvency II influences the reinsurance strategy of many insurance companies.
Admittedly current regulation in many jurisdictions already requires the approval by the Board of a written reinsurance strategy. Besides, the definition of this strategy goes beyond the sole consideration of regulatory optimisation.
However, new frameworks of governance and risk management as well as valuation of direct and ceded liability, solvency capital and eligible equity items incite insurers to adjust their reinsurance strategy.
